CocaColaCo Delta we know you supported Republican racist WhiteSupremacy cowards by donating millions to officials who want JimCrow 2.0 - For that my family will no longer fly delta and only fly AmericanAir and drink pepsi. HispanicFed HHFoundation latinovictoryus

SaraEisen From the guy who promotes sugar drinks

Boycott Coca-Cola and Delta!

Sara... Sorry to say how much I hated this interview... Stick to corporate stocks, monetary and business matters... Quit injecting your political views into your corporate executive interviews... What a disappointment... Regrettably, this is goodbye for me...

CocaColaCo Good! The Georgia legislation is undermining the backbone of our democracy and would lead to a failed state. That can't be good for business. Any real patriot should be furious about that too. Now do speak 'more forcefully' about it!

He should be fired! His company is a primary contributor to obesity, requires iD to get into their buildings and shareholder meetings, why? I hope this hurts their business.

Says a company selling shit beverages, causing diabetes and obesity most affecting poor communities. Get of the High Horse.

I see CocaCola is back it’s old Nazi collaboration ways. This time in GA to help the Nazi BrianKempGA pass a voter suppression law then backpedal.

This nothing more than a spineless CEO cowering to political pressure. There is nothing racist about the bill. It is about insuring the integrity of the election process so nobody can claim an election was stolen.

Have either of these two read the legislation do you think? Or a factual summary of it?

Kudos to CocaCola, Delta, Merck, Porsche, UPS, BankofAmerica, Microsoft, and other CEOs who spoke up against GA's voter suppression law.

More Scumbags Check!

Hey Coke, I have canceled you out of the products I buy! Goodbye Forever!!!

He should focus on his company!!! Clearly he has no idea, of what’s going on

Woke CEO

Stick to making America fat dipshit🐑🐑🐑🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Be nice if they actually read the bill..... lol

SaraEisen He really didn’t wanna do this 😂😂

Sure...let's see how CocaCola and CocaColaCo uses their extensive marketing budget to make their new found morality crystal clear.... we are all waiting....

Quincey should focus on growing $KO’s EPS for the first time in almost decade first

Maybe he is doing this because statistically blacks 73% are OBESE and they drink COKE SUGAR SHIT ALL DAY?! Ulterior Motives!

Prove it.

Pure BS!!

This fellow is the head of Coke? Sad corporate leadership. Drink H2O. FoxNews WSJbusiness

He requires a photo ID to be shown in order to gain admission to Coca-Cola's annual shareholder meeting

An awoke AssClown

He is obviously not thinking about his shareholders timetodumpcokestock

Moving out of ATL would do it - Talks cheap

SaraEisen He looks so uncomfortable.

I didn’t know Ellen had a twin brother.

So does coke require id to get into their headquarters or anyone can walk on in

I'm done with Coke.

The board should fire James Quincey effective immediately. Companies have shareholders of all political beliefs. This is unacceptable... cancelquincey canceldelta cancelcocacola Delta CocaCola

Coca Cola is disgusting!

If you’re going to speak publicly, try not to be such an ignorant hypocrite

He hasn’t read the bill

People need a little more good news now.

While it's nice that CocaCola decided to close the barn door after the horses had already escaped, unless they push Republicans to support the 'For The People Act' we should honor what the late John Belushi once said... NoCoke_Pepsi

The same soda company who buys into race baiting is now going to advocate for easier voter fraud? How shocking

A little late there, CocaCola. The law already passed.

This is silly. Business should not pick sides. Keep this up and I will forgo coke product and drink something else. Stay away from silly politics or quit and run for office then!!!

This is not the role to be played by a CEO. What happened to Coke?

I have not heard one CEO specify what provisions in this bill they disagree with. Is it wrong to verify the identity of somebody who is voting?

It must be weighing on him. Dude looks like he hasn't slept in weeks.

Wow, this interview was HORRIFIC! Why does want us to adhere to SaraEisen radical political viewpoints Seriously, the viewers of CNBC don’t want to see Sara trying to school the CEO of Coke on woke supremacy.

Clean up on the soda aisle. Put $ in to support D groups that are fighting these horrible voting laws, DietCoke

Lots of talk and no action coke.

Need to get the unamerican law changed or CNN will join the list

get the bad unamerican law changed

SaraEisen Can you please do your job as journalists and also ask your interviewees what about the law is 'unacceptable'? Given that the law expands weekend voting and that many BLUE states have identical ID requirements for absentee voting, you are lying to your viewers.

Too late CocaCola . I've already sold my stock and put the $$ into PepsiCo . It wasn't a ton of money, but you were WAY too slow on this.

MollyJongFast here

Phuck coke, it’s more than acceptable after the Fulton county video. No one gives a shit what coke says

Coca Cola had leverage before the bill was enacted. This is just clean up PR.

CocaCola

Will need to show your vaccine papers to go into your polling location to vote with no ID. Ironic.

Thank you CocaCola I love Coke Zero. Let’s make the GOP get a better platform than voter suppression. NotMyGOP RestoreOurGOP

Agreed. And while I'm here, WTF, CocaCola? Why is there STILL no real sugar coke 12 packs in every shop I go to ever? You think I like hauling the big ass 24 packs of glass bottles out of places? Get that shit into cans already.

Basically what he said was, 'we oppose this law. We don't know why it's bad, but if we don't oppose it the leftist mobs will come after us.'

lipservice

Not good enough. BoycottCocaColaCo

Specifically, what is unacceptable?

Just turned off CNBC and swiched to Charles Payne at Fox Business for non biased news. i thought you were a business channel, not political commentators. Your loss, will post your political biases AGAINST legal voting and for ILLEGAL voting on FB.

Wait... is he just trying to get the Diet Coke button reinstalled at the Oval Office?

The Bill has passed and been signed into law. Don’t let CocaCola off the hook. BoycottCocaColaCo

Stand on principle, LEGAL voting, not ILLEGAL voting. I’m ready to run off CNBC and switch to Fox Business due to your obvious political views.

Little late outrage and regret. 😐

When I see these companies refuse to donate to the GOP or any GOP pacs going forward, because voting suppression is NOT just in GA, then I’ll believe them. Until then, and it makes me sad, BoycottCocaColaCo BoycottDeltaAirlines boycottHomeDepot

You go Mr Quincey

CNBC Ken Chaulant + Ken Frazier have No Creds on Voting Laws.... . They Did not Speak Out against the Nov 3 National Voting Irregularities

We will be watching.

for any that want to know how these people lie to you

oh no, next they will be telling people they have to have a vaccine card to be able to enter buildings, amusement parks, cruise ships....WAIT, they are! Only difference, you have to be injected with something to get the card.

nobody cares. Coke is all but gone now.

You really FKD yourselves Georgia! Big Time!!

better late than never and it's good that supporters are able to see true colors of their chosen party. as far as i can see, the GOP with the exception of a few has lost all credibility, have no policies or ideas to offer and function in a different reality.

Communist democrats are crying like babies cause they believe rights are being taken away

Goldman Sacks & Morgan Stanley stab investors and peers in the back and should be held accountable for corrupt behavior - who do they think they are, feminists? HouseDemocrats HouseGOP SenateGOP SenateDems SenWarren

All old white men

What restrictions are they taking aim at please?

I'm running out of woke companies to boycott.

Please explain how this bill prevents someone from voting? You don't think black people are capable of getting ID's? That's pretty racist.

Starve those crooks!!!

It is a political show by the big businesses for the dumb liberals knowing smart conservatives will not care those lip services It has absolutely no effect whatsoever

Pfft security paper for ballots? How dare they make it harder to cheat, must be Jim Crowe or something
